5 comments
  • On page 62 there are two poems that I really enjoyed reading and thought that they had good meaning.
  • The titles of the chapters are different and I like how they try to describe what the chapter is about.
  • The setting of most of what I read was in a cemetary.
  • They were buying a monument for the cemetary so that they could bury the lady and they were coming uo with things to but on the head stone.
  • When looking at the chapters they all seem to be just about the same length.

4 questions

  • On page 78 there is a four line saying and I don't understand what it is there for or what it means.
  • Why are they chapters only 1-2 pages each?
  • Why was this a popular book?
  • Why did the author decide to write about this topic?
